Measurement of lepton differential distributions and the top quark mass in $$t\bar{t}$$ t t ¯ production in pp collisions at $$\sqrt{s}=8$$ s = 8 TeV with the ATLAS detector
Аннотация
This paper presents single lepton and dilepton kinematic distributions measured in dileptonic t t events produced in 20.2 fb -1 of s = 8 TeV pp collisions recorded by the ATLAS experiment at the LHC. Both absolute and normalised differential cross-sections are measured, using events with an opposite-charge e pair and one or two btagged jets. The cross-sections are measured in a fiducial region corresponding to the detector acceptance for leptons, and are compared to the predictions from a variety of Monte Carlo event generators, as well as fixed-order QCD calculations, exploring the sensitivity of the cross-sections to the gluon parton distribution function. Some of the distributions are also sensitive to the top quark pole mass; a combined fit of NLO fixed-order predictions to all the measured distributions yields a top quark mass value of m pole t = 173.2 0.9 0.8 1.2 GeV, where the three uncertainties arise from data statistics, experimental systematics, and theoretical sources.
